- Not sure what the "logo" refers to - perhaps the fancy lettered series name? ... or maybe the device around each chapter number?
- re reference to "brick texture" - the inside of the front and back covers show a brick wall (full page). Although there is a section of brick work on unnumbered page i and iii (starting from the first physical page of the book) plus on the last physical page of the book, this is part of a small section of wall with apertures & wolves, above a stone arch that takes up 3/4 of the page. ("Night time" image, so hard to interpret.) After comparison with the information in book 2, I think the "brick texture" reference does refer to the arched wall.
- re "castle on page ii and folios": After comparison with the information in book 2 of the series, this seems to refer to a small stylised castle drawing at the top of the copyright page, plus smaller instances just above the page numbers in the body of the text.
- The illustrations in the text of the story are small. Most look more like drawings than photos. Some are not referenced above. Some are a mix of the acknowledged "stock" item with or over unacknowledged items. e.g. the "skull" is on a stone & there are 3 other stones with other patterns on them in the vicinity.
